Default Electrical plug under tank

I had my tank off a couple times. The last time I noticed there wasn't a slide lock on the electrical connection under the tank.
Is there supposed to be a slide lock, or is it just a push button to release?

Are you talking about the red lock that locks the lock?

Not on my heritage.

No, sure don't. Here's a pic from when I did an accessory harness. No red slider clip.

Not on my 18 Fatboy either. Just the regular clip that you have to push down on to pull apart.

Cool. Thought I got overzealous and pulled it out.

Thanks for the replies!
